It`s very quiet here these days, I know - but I promise you I will be back! =)I am working on two larger projects that are progressing very slowly... Partly because it`s so warm here, partly because my arms hurt of too much "heavy" knitting..., and partly because I need to finish some birthday-presents. And here I present to you The Pink Shawl of Love! *lol*

I have wanted to knit a Elizabeth Zimmerman-pattern for a long time - and now I have finally made it! =)

It`s a baby Tomten knitted in 2 colors - main color is a dark brown with details in a purply blue. I am very happy with how it turned out! Love the colours! =)

I knitted an I-cord ending around the body and hood. I have never used that technique before, but it turned out surprisingly well, I think! I had to frogg it the first time, because it looked better on the wrong side... So I started over from the wrong side, and now the right side looks great! =)

I am knitting a cardigan/jacket in Angora-Tweed to myself - but I frogged the whole thing last night... I was not happy with shape so far (all the way up til under the arms...), so I have started over... I am sure it will work out like I want eventually! *lol*

It`s the first jacket I design, so I am prepared for some frogging... *lol*Luckily the yarn seems to take the frogging well.

So - here`s some more macro`s for you! =)They can all be seen in larger size by clicking on them.

I usually use my Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro lens with Canon 30D camerabody for the macro-photos, but sometimes I use it with my Canon 400D aswell. I am very happy with both cameras and I absolutely L O V E the lens! =)

On my Wishlist I have Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro. But the price is too much for me at the moment. But One Day, right? =)Have a nice day!

Errata - Tempo`s Headcoat:

ERRATA:
1. I have been informed about a typo in the info: It says: “4DPNs, size 4mm. 3 med mer DPNs might be needed to attatch the brim”. It should of course be “3 mm DPNs might be needed to attatch the brim.” lol
2. When starting at Step 3: Cast on 3 stitches on 4 mm DPNs!
3. Step 4: Row 1 should read: (k2, p2t) till end of row, and NOT (k1, p2t) till end of row…
